"The Lord Thy God"
(In Preparation...)
The Lord God said to me that there would be a miracle in the sky and wonders on the ground.
Indeed, North Korea failed in its relaese of an artificial satellite to a space orbit by the Taepodong-2 missile rocket on Sunday.
Truly, a great earthquake hit a city some 100km far from Rome, Italy, on Monday, taking 150 and more lives and destroying tens of thousands of houses.

In other word, North Korea has failed in posing a threat to Japan and the U.S.; Mt. Fuji, a great live volcao, 100km far from Tokyo still stands still.

There is an American report book that seems to have heavily contributed to realization of the first-dark-skinned President of the United States of America:

Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America
Millions of Americans work full-time, year-round, for poverty level wages. During a literary lunch with one of her editors, distinguished journalist Barbara Ehrenreich was persuaded to join them and find out how an incredible 30 per cent of the population manage to survive on eight dollars an hour or less (answer: they do two jobs). With a start-up fund of a thousand dollars (more than most of these wage slaves can hope to save in a lifetime) she left her home in Florida and her partner behind her, took the cheapest lodgings she could find and accepted the first job she was offered (waitressing). For the next two years she worked her way around the US, in a succession of dead-end jobs - cleaning, care work, folding clothes at Wal-Mart. She lived, like her colleagues, in trailers and dingy motel rooms (few can afford the deposit and first month's rent on a decent apartment). The world she inhabited was governed by insane, Kafkaesque rules familiar to anyone who's ever held down a casual job - no 'comfort breaks'; no minimum wage for waitresses, because of the tips they (theoretically) receive; humiliating drug tests that exclude the most counter-productive drug of all (alcohol); personality tests designed - in the most transparent fashion - to sort the troublemakers from the team players. Of course, Ehrenreich had a get-out clause which she could invoke at any time, and she resolutely refuses to feel sorry for herself. She also knows that few of her co-workers have that luxury. They are the foot soldiers of the American Dream - understaffed, underpaid and underfed. Determined to remain detached, Ehrenreich still cares. Her reportage is tough and committed. It is also laugh-out-loud funny. A New York Times bestseller, the book carries a typically passionate introduction from Polly Toynbee. Don't buy from Wal-Mart. Buy this book instead.

The most important reminder must be that President Mr. Barack Obama has never been a native hero in the domain of American poverty at all.
